When you actually compare real data it doesn't lie so in other words Microsoft had the highest failure rates and Nintendo had the lowest. I rather use real facts than "he say, she say".

But... you just said just that you don't believe Wii's broke because your friends and you have working ones, you mentioned no statistics.
In any case, the Wii's failure rate was much, much lower than the competition's, at around 2.7%

hearing this makes me laugh. I love how Microsoft sarcastically congratulated Sony's launch with some defective PS4 systems, now they're failing with the xbone.

Where's Sonys sarcastic congratulation message? Hmm, I don't see one.
Sony is the better company

When you quote, you gotta post a citation/source... but yeah, we're in total agreement. :P

Anyone could look it up that's why I post it. I never post things that I haven't checked myself and if someone wants more information on it I will add. Someone said that was low but against the other consoles it wasn't that bad at all but yes we do agree.
 
Why is this even in the summitted news section. Only short sentence post and zero source or links of any kind. Googled and found zero information on xboned disc drive failures.

It doesn't take much personal experience to back that statement up.

How many Nintendo gaming systems do you have that STILL work today?

Counting my NES, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS, that's 4.

And keep in mind I got my NES in 1991. That was 22 years ago.

So yeah I'd say Nintendo was/is the better one in the quality product department.

Neither of my Microsoft's or Sony's devices lasted that long. Not even close.

That's a silly way to build an argument - just because a company made a very sturdy console in the past doesn't mean that their future systems will be equally as good. Atari 2600 systems are all good and well 30 years on, but finding a Jaguar CD in working condition is an insurmountable task.

...not to mention that the NES in particular does have its own failure quirks with the 72-pin connector, or to be accurate the entirety of the cartridge slot assembly which is really overengineered and unnecessarily complex for the sake of working like a top-loading VHS player being one of them. It was precisely why a top-loading solution was built later on.:P

Precisely. I am not saying Nintendo won't have their products quality go down over the years. I'm building an argument around the systems I have now. I have no idea how future equipments will do in the quality/sturdiness department.

Was I lucky? I doubt that. If anything, it was quite the opposite since I was a kid when I used those Nintendo systems. I only got my PS1 when I was like 10. Yet, My NES, GameBoy Pocket and Game Boy Advance, took years of mistreatment, being dropped to the ground, scratches, and slamming. And they still live.

Meanwhile both my Xbox and Xbox 360's hardware went on vacation after 2 years each. I have had 4 PSP's due to similar reasons. And so on.

My PsOne broke after I sat on it. But that was completely my fault. Doesn't apply XD

I just wish all consoles had backward compat thought since I'm going to love my WiiU more than my PS4 (when Uncharted comes out) because of that I don't want to rebuy games that I can already own. *Hugs Phat PS3* You are perfect in every way so don't die on me! lol

You stupid? Microsoft didn't say it sarcastically. They were actually congratulating them. And guess what, Sony congratulated Microsoft too.

So what, let me guess, Yoshida (yosp) says he loves Nintendo and offers advice, and he was being sarcastic in your eyes too?

You bastard. I love all my systems equally! :3

Except for that piece of crap Xbox 360. Glad I got rid of it. Breaking down was its specialty.
